What about templating, or deep configuration, or simple API?

I'm going to try http://keepachangelog.com/ and need some tiny improvements for autogenerating CHANGELOG.md.

As I see:

• Need to parse somehow CHANGELOG.md to get sections with commits list;
• Remove already added commit from import;
• Split commits list to different sections;
• Generate new release section for unreleased section since last tag (or since passed --start-ref).
• Replace old unreleased with the new one.

Also it can be an option to finalize unreleased section with some tag (in that way we need to fetch 2 tags: previous and the last, and use them as start and end refs).

sounds complicated, maybe too complicated for this humble little utility

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about simple API

ah ok, so you mean expose components so it can be extended programatically, I'd be happy for that
